Basically anyone who has read the Analects can remember famous statements such as "a gentleman is not a party", "a gentleman is not a weapon", "a gentleman is not worried or afraid", and "a gentleman does not lift people by his words", and it is not difficult to say one or two on the spot. However, the difficulty is that like Jiang Shuiyuan, he can count them from beginning to end! It is conceivable that those who can do this must have a thorough grasp of the full text of the Analects, otherwise it will be absolutely difficult to do so lightly. - Of course, there is another possibility, that is, as Chen Di said, he knew the question in advance, memorized the answer in advance, and deliberately pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger and kicked the hall!

The atmosphere at the scene was suddenly a little gloomy, and the eyes of the boy and President Liu also became unkind.

Jiang Shuiyuan touched his nose: "Kick the hall? This question is so simple, anyone who has read the "Analects" should know the answer, right?" The implication is not that our army is too cunning, but that your army is too incompetent!

Yes, those who have read the Analects should know the answers, but most people only know one or two of the answers, and there are very few who can count them article by verse! President Liu gestured slightly to the boy on the left with his eyes, and the implication was self-evident: Give this kid some eye medicine, lest he think that there is no one in our Chinese Studies Lecture Damn Society!

The boy pondered for a moment and then said, "Let's move on to the second question." According to historical records, the Qing Dynasty's huge greed and Shen were poor when he was young, and he served as a third-class guard in the palace. One time Emperor Qianlong suddenly decided to go out, but Luan Yiwei couldn't find the Yellow Dragon umbrella cover in a hurry, and Emperor Qianlong said casually: 'Whose fault is it?' He Shen happened to be on duty at this time, and replied: "The warden must not excuse himself." As a result, he was appreciated by Emperor Qianlong and began his soaring career. Now the question is, which chapter of the Analects does their answer come from?"

Jiang Shuiyuan said loudly: "If I am not mistaken, 'whose fault is it' should come from the sixteenth chapter of the Ji family in the Analects, and 'the keeper of the canon must not resign his fault' is not the original text of the Analects, but Zhu Xi's explanation of the sentence 'The tiger is out of the sheng, and the turtle jade is destroyed in the coffin, whose fault is it', that is, 'in the sheng and escape, in the coffin and destroy, the keeper must not resign his fault'." I don't know if I'm right?"

The three people interviewed all opened their mouths wide, and their eyes were full of surprise: This guy really didn't kick the gym? Did he just say that he had only roughly flipped through the "Notes on the Four Books and Chapters and Sentences", how could he even memorize Zhu Xi's annotations proficiently now? If he only knew a little about the fur like this, wouldn't the three of us not even touch the fur?

No, you have to give him something to see!

The boy gritted his teeth and said, "Move on to the third question." Since you are so familiar with the Analects, how many are there?"

This question is indeed very tricky, because few people pay attention to such trivial issues, and since ancient times, different commentators have also disagreed on the division and integration of the chapters of the Analects, such as "the son eats on the side of the mourner, and he is not full" in the "Seventh Chapter of the Analects", "the son eats on the side of the mourner, and he is not full" and "the son cries on the day, then he does not sing", Zhu Xi's "Commentary on the Four Books and Chapters and Sentences" treats them as one, and Liu Baonan's "Analects of Justice" treats them as two, so there are three seven and thirty-eight in the seventh chapter of the "Shu and the Seventh". In addition, there are also repeated chapters in the Analects, such as "Clever Words and Colors, Fresh Benevolence", which appears in both the first chapter of learning and the seventeenth chapter of the Yang Goods, and it is difficult to say whether they are one or two. So how many articles are there in the Analects, it's really a confusing account!

Jiang Shuiyuan was also stunned after hearing the question: "Hmm? How many Analects are there?"

Seeing that Jiang Shuiyuan was a little deflated, the boy suddenly became proud: "Yes, I asked how many articles there are in the Analects, please answer as much as you can, there are other interviewers waiting for you later!"

Jiang Shuiyuan asked rhetorically: "Then do you know how many Analects there are?"

"Uh......" The boy thought of this question completely temporarily, and deliberately used it to make things difficult for the river water, and he really didn't know the answer. But the matter has come to this, so I had to stiffen my neck and answer: "I naturally know the answer, but now I am testing you, not you testing me!"

Jiang Shuiyuan couldn't see that the boy was a boiled duck with a hard mouth, and immediately took a step: "Since Senior Brother knows the answer, then please write it out, and let's confirm each other later, and see if what I said is right, how about it?"

Chen Diqi said: "Do you know the answer?"

"I'm sorry, it may take a minute or two, but I do know the answer!" Jiang Shuiyuan replied confidently.

The atmosphere was a little stalemate, and Liu Xinying, who was sitting in the middle, felt that Fu Shouzhang and Jiang Shuiyuan were like two masters playing fried golden flowers, each of them didn't know the other's hole cards, and they were secretly speculating whether the opponent was confident or bluffing. This contest not only tests the knowledge, but also the courage and observation skills of both sides, but the stakes are not ordinary money and property, but their own reputation in the community!

However, Jiang Shuiyuan knew that he was sure to make money and not lose money, because as early as more than 800 years ago, Zhu Xi, who was so idle, had already indicated how many chapters there were under each article when he wrote the "Annotations on the Analects of the Four Books and Chapters and Sentences", if Fu Shouzhang had to be more serious, at most he would waste a minute or two to add the number of twenty articles, could the addition within four digits still stump a high school student?

Liu Xinying saw that the atmosphere was getting stiffer and stiffer, and hurriedly came forward to play a round and said: "Okay, okay, the rule of our Chinese Studies Lecture Club is that you can enter the next round of screening by answering two of the three questions correctly in the interview, since Jiang Shuiyuan has answered two questions correctly through the interview, it doesn't matter whether the third question is correct or not." Time is pressing, so let's have the next interviewer!"

Jiang Shuiyuan is not a person who is arrogant and arrogant to kill everything, and when he saw Liu Xinying coming forward to mediate, he was ready to get up and say goodbye to the donkey under the slope. Who knew that Fu Shouzhang did not relent: "Wait! Since the question has come out, no matter whether the answer is correct or wrong, there must always be an explanation, otherwise it will be perfunctory in this way, how can we have the attitude of reading and studying?"

Jiang Shuiyuan said with a smile: "Since this senior brother wants me to answer, then you must have a standard answer first, right? Otherwise, how do you know that I answered correctly and wrongly?"

Fu Shouzhang's brain teaser turned, and he had read the "Analects" carefully several times, and he had the impression that each article was uneven in length, but the average was about 25, with a total of 20 articles in the whole book, and it was estimated that the total number was about 500, so he took a pen and wrote "about 500 rules" on paper, and then said: "I have written my own answer, now it's your turn!"

Jiang Shuiyuan didn't answer directly, but turned his face to Chen Di and said: "This senior sister, I don't know if there is a "Four Books and Chapters and Sentences Collection Annotations" in your club, please find it to verify it, and see if I have made a mistake, lest someone say that I am a believer later." ”

"Okay, handsome guy, wait a minute, I'll find it for you right away!" Chen Di seemed to be afraid that the world would not be chaotic, so she immediately got up and began to rummage through the "Notes on the Four Books and Chapters and Sentences", and after a while, she really found a copy: "Handsome guy, the book has been found, what do you want me to do?"

During the time when Chen Di was looking for books, Jiang Shuiyuan had already calculated the results, and at this time he replied: "My answer is 498 or 482, why are there two numbers? That's because the "Township Party Chapter 10" was originally a chapter, and Zhu Xi divided it into 17 sections in the Song Dynasty. According to the old theory, the answer is 482, and if it is according to Zhu Xi's division, it is 498. This senior sister, you can open the "Annotations on the Analects" of the "Commentary on the Collection of Chapters and Sentences of the Four Books" in your hand, and there are specific numbers under each article, please add them up and check them to see if the final result is as mentioned below?"

Chen Di immediately took out a pen and paper and calculated, and after a few minutes, she raised her head, her face full of admiration: "Handsome guy, you are so amazing, the answer you said is completely correct! May I ask when you started reading the "Annotations on the Collection of Chapters and Sentences of the Four Books"? How do you remember it so well? Can you already memorize the whole book backwards?"

Fu Shouzhang was also single, and he simply showed his answer: "I'm really ashamed, I only know that there are about 500 stories in the whole book, but it is not as specific and accurate as yours, which shows that the junior brother's mastery of the "Analects" has reached the point of perfection, and I admire it! I hope I can continue to learn from you and make progress together!"

Liu Xinying said with a smile: "Since the two vice presidents have high praise for Jiang Shuiyuan, in my opinion, there is no need to go through the next round of screening, and they will be directly admitted as members of our Chinese Studies Lecture Club! Chen Di and Fu Shouzhang, what do you two think?"

"No problem! This junior is so handsome and so good at learning, not to mention direct admission, even if I am asked to give him the position of vice president, I will raise my hands in favor, and there is absolutely no objection!" Chen Di is really unscrupulous and fast-talking.

"I also agree! If necessary, Fu can also push the position to make Xian at any time. Fu Shouzhang also said.

Liu Xinying stroked her palm and said: "I remember when you say this, haven't I always been the head of the Propaganda Department in the past? Since Jiang Shuiyuan's voice in our company is so high, why don't we let him temporarily serve as the deputy director of the Propaganda Department and preside over the work of the Propaganda Department?"

Chen Di and Fu Shouzhang said in unison: "Agreed!"

Jiang Shuiyuan didn't expect that he would be promoted to three levels in a row as soon as he passed the interview and was appointed as the deputy director of the Propaganda Department. It's a pity that he is not here, and the only thing that can interest him now is how to be a scholar and a scholar, so he hurriedly refused: "I don't agree!" Perhaps feeling that the refusal was a bit of a disappointment to their kindness, Jiang Shuiyuan added: "If the three seniors really have the heart to love them, then let me be the librarian of your Guoxue Kodanshe!"
